Our service map no longer sits behind a feature flag, so every account can open it. It shows the services a traced request reached, and how long each call between them took. The trace timeline, browser errors, and links to expired traces got updates too.
The trace timeline overlay gives the span column a resize grip. Drag it wider to read a long span name, or scroll the column sideways. The column no longer cuts span names off at a fixed width. The overlay now works on every screen width: on a phone, it drops its side and bottom spacing, so the timeline uses the whole screen.
We had already announced how you can follow a failed browser request into your back end. Now, Browser errors also show their trace and related log lines in the side panel. Any network breadcrumb can also open its trace with Open trace.
A link to an expired trace no longer dead-ends. AppSignal opens the latest trace for that incident and explains why you are looking at a different one.
Read the distributed tracing docs to set it up. Tell us what you think in our Discord channel.
